1 Create a private key. The file created by the following command
contains the private RSA key to be used by viewLinc:
openssl genrsa -out viewlinc.bigpharma.com.key
2048
2 Create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file.
Note: This file contains the certificate request details, and is
not required by viewLinc (it is only an intermediate
step in the Security Key generation procedure).
3 Create a configuration file called SSLConfig.txt containing your
certificate details.
For example:
[ req ]
distinguished_name= req_distinguished_name
prompt = no
[ req_distinguished_name ]
countryName = CA
stateOrProvinceName = British Columbia
localityName = Vancouver
organizationName = Big Pharma Inc.
organizationalUnitName = Big Pharma Unit
commonName = viewlinc.bigpharma.com
emailAddress = [email protected]
4 Run this command:
openssl req -new -key viewlinc.bigpharma.com.key
-out viewlinc.bigpharma.com.csr -config SSLCon-
fig.txt
5 Create a Certificate (CRT) file:
Note: This file contains the signed certificate that viewLinc
requires.
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in viewlinc.big-
pharma.com.csr -signkey viewlinc.big-
pharma.com.key -out viewlinc.bigpharma.com.crt
